Why doesn't this formula work? =IF(Q11=DATE, P11). Can you not use a date
as part of a calculation or question, and if not, what alternative would be
recommended?

The idea is: The formula I want is to copy cell P11 into cell R11 if there's
text/data(which in this case is a date) in cell Q11. Is there something
other than DATE that I could use?
